Rocks

How Rocks Were Made

Some stone was made by a big clump of clay.Some rocks are made by minerals.

Igneous Rocks

Some igneous rocks have tiny minerals in them and some don't have any.Greenstone sometimes gets caught in the volcanoes,Basalt normally comes out of the volcanoes.

Sedimentary Rocks

Sedimentary rocks are made of tiny pieces of big rocks.Most Canyons are made of Sedimentary rocks.Limestone is a kind of Sedimentary rock.You can find fossils in some Sedimentary rocks.

Metamorphic Rocks

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have changed their form because of the earths crust.Marble and Slate are two kinds of Metamorphic rocks.You would normally find Metamorphic rocks deep inside the earth.

The rock cycle goes like this Magma to Igneous to Sedimentary to Metamorphic and over and over again.
